DataWindow Presentation Styles

Till now we've seen how to retrieve information for the DataWindow, but that is only half the story. The other half would be displaying it. While doing it we need to consider in terms of enhancement of the data as well as its graphical simplicity.

To accomplish this, we will look at the various presentation styles that are built-into PowerBuilder, and also how and when each style should be used.

Just as there are several ways of populating DataWindows, there are several ways of displaying that information. PowerBuilder provides us with a wide variety of presentation styles, each of which can be used in different situations to provide the best layout.

We will look at each of those in turn before we look at the design view of the DataWindow Painter, and create some DataWindows that we will be using in our Product_Management_System application.
